Filing summary
Entity discrepancy: The request identifies Innovex International, Inc., but the supplied filing is Dril-Quip, Inc.’s Form 10-Q. The figures below are for Dril-Quip and should not be attributed to Innovex.
Business context and reporting period
Quarter ended September 30, 2022; financial statements are unaudited. Dril-Quip designs, manufactures, sells, services and leases equipment for drilling and production, primarily for deepwater and other demanding applications. It reports Western Hemisphere, Eastern Hemisphere and Asia-Pacific operations.
Financial performance and position
Amounts are in millions of U.S. dollars unless stated otherwise.
| Metric | Q3 2022 | Q3 2021 | Nine months 2022 | Nine months 2021 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | $88.1 | $83.0 | $265.3 | $245.0 |
| Operating income (loss) | $14.4 | ($6.9) | $4.9 | ($53.2) |
| Net income (loss) | $15.2 | ($11.1) | $0.7 | ($64.6) |
| Diluted earnings (loss) per share | $0.44 | ($0.31) | $0.02 | ($1.82) |
| Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP | $7.0 | $4.0 | $19.5 | $14.6 |
- Revenue rose 6.2% year over year in Q3 and 8.3% for the nine-month period. Product revenue growth, particularly subsea equipment, contributed to the increase.
- Gross margin was approximately 25.4% in Q3 and 24.9% for the nine months, versus 24.2% and 26.0%, respectively, in 2021. Nine-month cost pressure included inflation in raw materials and unfavorable product mix.
- Q3 operating income includes a $17.3 million gain on sale of the Houston forge facility. Excluding that gain, operating results were a loss of approximately $2.9 million. The nine-month operating result likewise included a $17.8 million gain; excluding it, operating loss was approximately $12.9 million.
- Cash and cash equivalents were $290.3 million at September 30, 2022, with $25.3 million in short-term investments. Current assets were $745.8 million and current liabilities $89.3 million. The company reported no outstanding debt in the supplied text; its asset-based credit facility was terminated in February 2022.
- For the first nine months, operating cash flow was negative $19.2 million, versus positive $33.7 million in 2021. Capital expenditures were $13.7 million; cash declined $65.2 million to $290.3 million. Working-capital movements, including higher unbilled receivables and vendor advances, weighed on operating cash flow.
- Product backlog was $211.8 million at quarter-end, up from $208.6 million at June 30, 2022. Separately, remaining performance obligations under over-time product contracts were $63.2 million; the company expected to recognize 92.7% within 12 months.
Changes, outlook, risks and unusual items
- Quarterly results improved from the prior-year loss, supported by higher revenue, lower SG&A and the forge-facility disposal gain. The nine-month comparison also benefited from lower restructuring charges than in 2021, when the company recorded $26.0 million, including inventory write-downs.
- In 2022, restructuring and other charges were $8.0 million for the nine months, including $5.1 million in long-lived asset write-downs and $2.9 million in other costs. Two additional Houston facilities were classified as held for sale, with $20.0 million of assets so classified at quarter-end.
- Management said existing cash, short-term investment reserves and anticipated operating cash flows should cover ordinary-course cash needs for the next 12 months. The filing provides no numerical earnings or revenue guidance.
- Management cited higher crude prices and increased offshore activity, while cautioning that subsea activity typically lags crude-price recovery and that oil-market volatility could dampen customer demand. Backlog can be affected by customer cancellations, suspensions and scope changes.
- Other risks include inflation and supply-chain exposure, COVID-19 developments, Russia-related sanctions and uncertainty, international operations and foreign-exchange movements. The company reported foreign-currency transaction gains of $1.9 million in Q3 and $5.6 million for the nine months, and said it did not materially hedge currency exposure.
- The FMC Technologies trade-secret lawsuit remained on appeal after a 2021 jury verdict in Dril-Quip’s favor. In October 2022, after quarter-end, a tax examination closed; the company expected a $6.2 million reduction in unrecognized tax benefits in Q4.
- Dril-Quip repurchased 888,197 shares for $20.8 million during the first nine months under its repurchase plans. The filing says the plans had no fixed expiration date and did not obligate the company to repurchase shares.
Important facts for investors to verify
- Confirm the intended issuer: the supplied 10-Q is Dril-Quip’s, not Innovex International’s.
- Assess earnings excluding the $17.3 million Q3 asset-sale gain and the effects of restructuring, foreign-exchange gains and variable tax rates.
- Monitor operating cash conversion, unbilled receivables, vendor advances and the timing of customer collections.
- Review backlog quality and cancellation exposure; headline backlog includes some bookings that do not qualify as enforceable performance obligations under the revenue standard.
- Track execution and proceeds from the remaining Houston facility sales, and the expected Q4 tax-benefit adjustment.
